Pride & Lust (12)
Song Shu is a small business owner, so he can start live streaming whenever he wants. But he doesn't want to reveal his identity, so the ID card used to register the streamer cannot be his, otherwise it will be easily discovered.
However, Song Shu was not worried that others would find out about this, because the assistant had been with him for a long time and was trustworthy. Many things that Song Shu's parents did not care about were solved by the assistant.
Because of Song Shu's special status, the assistant also arranged four room managers with the best performance for Song Shu to take turns watching the live broadcast room.
All the processes are ready, and the live broadcast room is online. Song Shu is still reading the announcement issued by the Frog platform.
The announcement was not long, just a few pages of A4 paper, which clearly stated how [Xigua] had teamed up with his uncle on the Frog platform to bully and suppress his peers in recent years, and used his uncle's power for personal gain to gain a better exposure position on the platform for himself.
Many fans of [Xigua] were silent in the comment section, while some stubbornly argued that this was using power to suppress people, and that capitalists had no heart and should not try to control these fans.
When Song Shu saw these comments, he felt that this live broadcast was missing Xigua, and it seemed that there was really no need to start it. He lowered his head and sent a message to his assistant: "Can you find a way to contact Xigua? Let him start a live broadcast with me."
The assistant replied quickly: [ok]
【Why did you call Xigua? 】
After receiving a positive response, Song Shu relaxed his frown and stretched himself. "I just think that these fans are not really at fault."
There is nothing wrong with liking someone, but it is also sad to be deceived into liking someone blindly. Xigua is also an old anchor, and his reputation has always been good. Although there are many rumors that he bullies and suppresses newcomers, due to the lack of solid evidence, fans are not serious about it with the mentality of "what if".
Some people have liked [Xigua] for too long, and have invested a lot of money and energy that is beyond expectation. Now that [Xigua] has collapsed, the first reaction is definitely to disbelieve it. After all, they have liked it for so long, and the sunk cost of time and money is too great, so it will be more difficult to accept psychologically for a while.
Song Shu had also experienced a house collapse, so he naturally knew how uncomfortable it felt.
"This live broadcast may help these people wake up a little."
The cola-flavored ice cube pressed against his teeth and then rested on the tip of his tongue. Song Shu said vaguely, "The most important thing is that I also want Xigua to apologize."
Not only the new anchors were suppressed, Xigua also felt sorry for the fans.
After a while, the assistant sent a message: [Boss, Xigua agreed]
The assistant was very efficient and never asked too many questions. Song Shu felt very comfortable with him, and after some consideration, he tripled the assistant's bonus for this month.
After the message was sent, the assistant's reply was very calm, but Song Shu also felt a hint of happiness from his words.
Now he is happy and his assistant is happy too.
Hehehe, it’s great to have money.
…
"Why were you so stupid as to provoke him?"
The man's scolding voice came out from the microphone. [Xigua] dared not say anything: "Sorry, uncle. I didn't know he was so powerful..."
[Xigua] I usually do this kind of thing to suppress others, and this time it was just a convenience. I didn't expect to hit Song Shu's iron wall.
"I've been fired and my colleagues laughed at me. Don't come to me if you have any problems. I feel unlucky when I see you!"
The call was hung up angrily. [Xigua] looked at the request for a live connection on the computer screen and thought of the insults [Xiaohao] had said to him yesterday. His face suddenly turned red.
At that time...why couldn't I refute it?
[Xigua] grabbed his wrist, not sure whether he was looking forward to or resisting the next live broadcast. But after sitting for a while, he slammed the table hard, causing the water on the table to jump up.
Damn it, to put it bluntly, it's just shameless to have expectations for such a live broadcast of public execution.
…
After Song Shu decided to do a live broadcast to clarify the situation, live broadcast reservations were also opened simultaneously.
[Xigua] is a veteran anchor. Although his professional level is not that good and his popularity is not good, he has a huge number of fans thanks to his several clever clips. The incident last night has fermented to the present and has become an accident in the anchor circle. Many people who were harmed by Xigua came to eat melons and join in the fun.
Song Shu did not intend to appear on camera during the live broadcast. There was only a small black ghost floating around on the screen throughout the entire process.
The little ghost was drawn by Song Shugang. The style of the painting is decadent, and there are resentful little circles around it, which is very consistent with his style of painting straight men.
The background of the live broadcast was, of course, the video that the up user had used this morning to denounce him.
Song Shu had already prepared a voice changer, but when the time came to actually start the show, he was still a little nervous when he saw the number of people in the live broadcast room rising. It was his first time doing something like this, and even with the support of a leather case, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Song Shu couldn't help but control the little ghost to float around to relieve stress.
555: [Just don’t let people in real life recognize you.]
Song Shu's dark and straight man character is hidden behind the scenes. If he were to be recognized, the completeness of the plot would be greatly compromised.
The muddled plot line in the first world gave 555 some unnecessary confidence in Song Shu, which led to Song Shu's mission failure in the second world without 555's intervention, and he almost caused the world to collapse.
This time, 555 will do everything in his power to firmly grasp the plot line of the vicious cannon fodder.
The live broadcast started and comments kept pouring in. Song Shu turned off the reward function and planned to wait until [Xigua] came on the microphone before speaking.
He was organizing his words, and because he greedily wanted to complete the task in one go and get rid of [Watermelon], he also pulled [The Other Shore] and [Chocolate Cookies] into the mix.
In this way, when he has nothing to say, these two people can support him.
Seeing that [Xigua] also went on stage on time, Song Shu was a little evasive again. Why did he get himself into trouble in such a rush?
However, some decisions are always irreversible, and now the arrow is on the string and has to be shot. Song Shu held his head and went mad silently. He really had this damn sense of justice that had nowhere to go.
=Excuse me, is this a live broadcast room of the "Don't Talk Challenge"?
=Why don’t you speak?
[Bi'an] and [Chocolate] were also a little nervous. They were invited by Song Shu to support the party, but they would never have thought that Song Shu was regretting at this moment. They only felt that Song Shu was arrogantly brewing anger, or arrogantly ignoring them.
This is something that [Xiaotuo] can do.
[Xigua] couldn't stand such silence. He looked at the scrolling comments, unable to bear it any longer and wanted to throw the jar into the air. But for the sake of his future live broadcast career, he had to put on an act anyway.
[Xigua] suppressed his anxiety and restlessness. Just when he was about to get impatient, [Xiaohao] finally spoke up: "Are they all here?"
The ghost on the live broadcast screen appeared next to [Xigua]'s avatar and took out a small sword to poke: "You are here too."
The small sword was tattered and a little rusty. It had no killing power in the ghost's hand. [Watermelon]'s face felt hot for no reason. By the time he reacted, his face was already red.
What the hell is going on! [Watermelon] drank a sip of the ice water that he had prepared in advance and cursed inwardly, thinking, [Xiaohao] is poisonous?
The live broadcast has only officially started at this moment, the barrage of comments is gradually becoming more and more popular, and the number of people watching the live broadcast has approached 50,000.
Song Shu manipulated the ghost to produce a scepter, and said something chilling: "Xigua, your uncle has been fired."
"What do you want to say?"
The small magic wand held by the ghost emitted green magic light waves, which hit the [Watermelon] avatar with a bang.
[Xigua] was ashamed: "I don't know the uncle you mentioned, and I don't know what you are going to do today."
[Xigua] still holds on to that attitude, saying that as long as he doesn’t admit it, no one can do anything to him. Later, he became a little more shameless and was able to continue live streaming.
Anyway, as long as he refuses to admit it, there will always be someone to explain for him.
[Xigua] As soon as these words came out, the barrage became even more lively.
=The earth exploded and you are the only one left
=I believe that watermelon is innocent
=I believe you, you big head ghost, you really have eyes to see but no brain to think
Of course, it is a bit out of place:
=The Buddha's voice is so nice hehehe
=Wuwuwuwu, I wait for these scoldings every day
"Is lying really your instinct?"
The little ghost pulled out a dagger and poked the [Watermelon] head, "You like to lie a lot, so it doesn't seem wrong for me to call you a liar."
Song Shu was a little late at this time, and he seemed angry.
"I asked you to apologize yesterday, but you didn't. I called you up again today, I must want you to apologize. How dare you ask me what I want to do?"
Sound actually has a concrete form, and pleasant sounds give people room for imagination.
The sound of [Xiaohao] suddenly became less casual and more fierce, as if it was really angry. The ghost on the screen was also very appropriate, and the speed of the sword poking the avatar was a little faster, as if it was venting its anger. The sound was actually weirdly cute.
It was as if someone in a ghost cloak was really holding a sword against your neck, thinking about how to make you suffer more. You didn't fall down in a mess, but stood up, and even had the ability to push the ghost away. But you couldn't do anything and could only let the ghost push you down.
Unable to figure out whether this obedient action contained expectation or fear, you looked up at the ghost. The ghost's expression was of course ferocious, but also beautiful. No one would think that with such a voice, it would be an ugly monster.
"You're more cheeky than I thought."
The tip of the sword was no longer pointing at the neck, but at the chin, leaving a little blood. It was almost painless, but it made people tremble all over.
"The notice has already been issued, do you still want me to tell you everything you've done? What is this? Are you still trying to get rid of this?"
The ghost changed his weapon to a knife-and-fork-like weapon, and this time there was a blood effect when he poked the avatar. Probably to prevent the live broadcast room from being blocked, the blood was also pitch black, splashing a little on the [Other Shore] and [Chocolate Cookies] next to it.
When the person on the microphone starts talking, the avatar will shake. The ghost stabs [Watermelon] with a fork, and blood splashes over. The avatars of [The Other Shore] and [Chocolate] also move slightly as if they are trembling.
[Xigua]'s fingers were shaking a little. It's not that he was completely speechless, but his voice was a little out of control. After all, it was not decent to speak so rashly.
"You bully and suppress newcomers, and you spread rumors that I'm an old and rich woman?... But even if I were an old and rich woman, I wouldn't support you."
The [small] voice paused, "You are too ugly. I don't like you."
The ghost floated back and forth, eventually switching back to a small sword, poking their avatars in turn.
[Xigua] held up his forehead, his back was a little sweaty, he couldn't tell whether it was due to nervousness or some strange feeling, his adrenaline was out of control.
Heart beating very fast.
Faster than ever before.
This made [Xigua] want to say something to ease his emotions. He took a sip of ice water to suppress his restless emotions: "Besides calling it ugly, don't you have anything else to say?"
"What you said was official. Don't you have any evidence of your own that you can use to accuse me?"
[Xigua] is indeed thick-skinned, and he can still take the initiative at this time. Song Shu was a little stunned. Just like 555 said, he was really at a loss for words when it came to scolding people, but he never thought that one day he would be accused of not being able to scold people at this time.
Song Shu was a little flustered, but he was not really confused. This was because the otaku had a skill that made him look more expressionless the more flustered he was, and the more expressionless he looked, the calmer he would be.
In the live broadcast room, the ghost who had been making small movements stopped in mid-air without any expression, looking somewhat serious and cute.
Just when [Xigua] thought that [Xiaohao] had nothing to say, a very clear, even somewhat cold curse came from the headphones.
"Trash."
[Watermelon]'s hand holding the ice water trembled.
"It's really annoying."
[Xiaohao]'s voice was colder than ever before, as if he didn't want to pretend anymore, or as if he had lost the desire to play with him.
"I don't understand how someone who has already been convicted has the nerve to ask me for more charges. Are you stupid?"
"How can you say such things? Your brain must have been eaten by zombies, and your face is as thick as a city wall. You always say there is no evidence, and you think the evidence is not enough when it is right in front of you. You either don't speak, or you speak nonsense. Did you pass the Chinese language test in high school?"
"Besides being ugly, you have many flaws. Lying, being a coward, evading responsibility, and having a bad character are your biggest flaws. Don't you know what I'm talking about?"
"Your face is as ugly as your soul."
"It's such a hassle dealing with an idiot like you."
"If you think that spreading rumors, hiring trolls, suppressing and bullying newcomers are not enough,"
The ghost slowly floated up, picked up a sickle, and looked at everyone with such indifference.
[Xigua] knew that his logic was completely untenable, but he said it anyway, and he had thought about the consequences of saying it. He was somewhat uncontrollably shaking at the accusations and insults coming from the headphones.
Was it excitement or fear, or both? Deep down, there was a fear that he didn't want to admit: he was afraid that [the secondary account] would lose interest in him, and even more afraid that his live streaming career would end.
The avatars of [The Other Shore] and [Chocolate] flashed twice, and the scrolling speed of the barrage gradually slowed down.
The ghost seemed fed up with the endless sophistry and judgment, and swung the huge sickle down. A white light flashed across the screen, like the ghost's disdainful and condescending judgment.
"Then die with these charges, bastard."
………
Song Shu asked 555 to use some special effects and the situation was roughly under control.
After he finished cursing, he controlled the ghost to drive the forklift, "The rest of the time is your time to quibble. If you have any last words, just say it."
"Anyway, stop saying stupid things and asking for trouble. Don't make me think you're a moron who can't understand what people are saying."
Actually, if I was angry, I wasn't that angry after I finished cursing. Song Shu was surprised that after he cursed twice, [Xigua] was like a mute.
The barrage of comments also scrolled slower than usual, even though the number of viewers was clearly increasing.
The ghost forklift creates a special effect when creating an avatar. [Watermelon] was hit twice before he said in frustration: "Stop talking..."
The voice was hoarse and sounded regretful, as if it was begging for mercy after regretting it.
Song Shu felt that there was finally a glimmer of hope for the mission to be completed, and was about to ask [Xigua] to apologize, but the tone of the barrage seemed extremely wrong.
= I am not a Doum (running around), I am really not a Doum (screaming and running away)
=Thank you, my face is already red
=This is my first time in this live streaming room. Will the style be like this in the future? I really don’t like it (press subscribe)
=It feels so good, please, don't stop
Song Shu: “……???”
Song Shu's silence caused the little ghost's forklift to stop.
[Chocolate]’s avatar lit up for a moment, as if it wanted to warm up Song Shu, but there was no follow-up after that.
Considering the comments he saw this morning, Song Shu really couldn't understand. He was a little scared, "555, are all people in this world so wild?"
555 was playing cards and took a look: [It should be, just finish the task quickly and ignore them. ]
Do the tasks, do the tasks.
Song Shu managed to regain some of his original intention. He once again controlled the ghost to change his weapon. This time it was a big hammer, which he hammered on the [Watermelon] avatar: "Is it a question of whether I should say it or not? Are you going to apologize or not?"
Thinking of [Bi'an] and [Chocolate] who were originally invited to warm up the audience, they were now speechless and Song Shu didn't know what to say.
Ghost hit the two men's heads twice like whack-a-mole, "What about you? Are you also mute?"
This blow at least woke [Bi'an] up, and [Bi'an] finally spoke: "Sorry, boss, I couldn't get a word in just now."
=Is it that I can't get a word in or I can't say anything (funny)
[Bi'an] took several sips of ice water, suppressed his hoarse voice, and continued: "Xigua, we have evidence that you bullied others and suppressed newcomers in the group. It's no use to quibble now."
[Chocolate Cookies] also chimed in: "Well, we have handed over the evidence to the platform, and the platform will punish you soon."
[The Other Shore]: "In addition, we will also post a Weibo post to prevent you from being disowned by history books in the future."
[Chocolate] and [The Other Shore] each said something, and the evidence was irrefutable. [Watermelon] couldn't refute it even if he wanted to, and the comments on the barrage gradually became normal.
Someone spoke for him, and Song Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been talking for so long that he was going to get some ice cubes from the refrigerator to calm his nerves.
=I have never seen such a hard mouth
=Just accept it, what can happen?
=The money is not enough
=Please, don't admit it, I want to hear the Buddha scold me for a while longer
=Upstairs you...
[Xiaohao] disappeared after cursing, leaving [Bi'an] and [Chocolate], who [Xigua] hated, to confront him. [Xigua] looked at the comments in the barrage that insulted and blamed him, and many of them were old fans who were familiar to him.
Thinking of [Xiaohao]'s loss of interest in him, [Xigua] panicked for a moment, and became so angry that he couldn't control his words: "You two are [Xiaohao]'s dogs, right?? You said it after your fucking master said so, right? And you said you weren't kept by someone, why don't I believe it?"
"I suppress newcomers and bully my peers. I admit it. I don't believe you are not supported!"
[Xigua]'s sudden outburst startled even the commentators.
[Bi'an] and [Chocolate] also looked sullen: "What nonsense are you talking about? You can spread rumors with just your mouth, right?"
Song Shu just came back from the kitchen eating ice cubes and heard these words: "..."
I feel a little speechless. I finally understand the origin of the idiom "a cornered dog will jump over the wall."
Song Shu chewed the crushed ice and swallowed it, frowning: "Are you sick?"
"I even called them ugly but I still support them. Do I have some weird fetish?"
[Xiaohao]'s voice came out, and [Xigua]'s arrogance finally became less arrogant. His face seemed to be flushed, and he was angry and embarrassed. He couldn't control his emotions and his voice was a little broken: "Who knows if you have it!"
If we talk about the emotion behind these words, [Xigua] can't say that he was speaking with the emotion of humiliating [Xiaohao]. He couldn't tell whether the emotion that he couldn't control came from the shame of the failure or the strange heartbeat caused by being scolded by [Xiaohao].
——Please, take a closer look at him... It's too cruel to leave like that.
A huge panic enveloped [Xigua]. He had lost his initial composure. He instinctively felt that from this day on, his live broadcast career might be over.
[Xiaohao] Inexplicably: "If I really love ugly, wouldn't it be better for me to support you?"
The ghost took out a sledgehammer and smashed [Watermelon]'s head twice. The splash of dark blood made [Watermelon]'s heart beat faster. The feeling of being looked down upon came again.
It’s hard to explain, [Xigua] can always associate the sound of [Xiaohao] with a face. That face is extremely beautiful, and his behavior is very unreasonable, but it has the magic to make people surrender, and can’t help but indulge him again and again.
It was almost impossible to tell whether it was reality or fantasy, [Xigua] no longer knew what he was talking about, and when he said it, the entire live broadcast room fell silent.
——"Then you support me!"
Song Shu: “…”
The ghost was suspended in the air, seemingly in disbelief. He no longer held the props in his hands, but was empty-handed like in the beginning.
[Watermelon] I had a bad feeling for some reason.
[Xiaohao] was obviously a little tired of playing, and spoke without any hesitation: "You are ugly, don't do it."
"You have a very bad character, you are a scum, a trash, a scum, a scum. You don't deserve the love of these fans, you are sorry for them, and you are also sorry for these newcomers who are suppressed by you."
"I reject your proposal, you can go away now."
Only at this moment did the sickle finally fall.
